The best way to start the year is to honor Batman, of the stars of 2016.

French artist Monsieur Plant, aka Christophe Guinet, in collaboration with Warner Bros. and the Splendens Factory, created a Batman wooden costume and mask. The artist compares the tree bark to the superhero’s costume as being a thin layer on both the natural element and the Comics’ character.

Ireland born artist Michael Craig-Martin latest exhibition is actually his first solo show in a London public institution since 1989. Showcased at the Serpentine Gallery, the exhibition brings together works from 1981 to 2015, including Michael Craig-Martin’s era-defining representations of once familiar yet obsolete technology; laptops, games consoles, black-and-white televisions and incandescent lightbulbs that highlight the increasing transience of technological innovation.

“One of the things that struck us was the transformation from the analogue age to the digital age, which of course I’ve recorded, because I have kept drawing the things around me,” said the artist.

Craig-Martin’s work has recorded the profound impact that electronic technology has had on the way we consume and communicate. The exhibition explores the seismic shift from analogue processes to digital technologies that informed the production and distribution of new kinds of objects in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

The “Clouds” series are large canvases painted in fine gradations of sky blue. Rondinone stated “they form an entity of time and space”.

“Mountains” sculptures consist of rocks stacked vertically on concrete plinths in groups ranging between two and six and each painting in different bright colours. The works appear poised between monumentality and collapse.

In the second movie from the famous trilogy of the 80’s, Marty and Doc travel to the future on today’s date.

And this is how the movie director envisionned the future. Now we are in the present, let’s compare the vision to the reality:

This house located in Queensland, Australia, was constructed so as to float among the trees and is made mostly out of concrete. ‘The Edge floating villa” with its unique shape offers open spaces and a wraparound swimming pool. It is safe to say that the incredible house is “edgy”, in both senses.

The villa won the ‘Building of the Year 2015 Architects Award’ and is listed at AUD 6,500,000.-

Designers Jesse Reed and Hamish Smyth are to thank for the reissue of the NASA Graphics Standards Manual allowing us to own a piece of legendary design history. Originally designed in 1974 by Danne & Blackburn, and then rescinded by NASA in 1992, the hardcover version of the original is a way to celebrate the 42-year-old design.
